  1. Thats what I've heard, it was for banishing evil spirits. I personally like Halloween, but mainly because it signifies (for me at least) the beginning of the run up to Christmas (and we usually have some fun at work with it too). I used to be Christian, but am not any more, so I don't celebrate Christmas forreligious reasons any more but more because it brings the family together and most people are generally in pretty good spirits
  2. I couldn't find one with Pinkie, which would have been more appropriate, but this is close enough XD
  3. Pink is an interesting colour, here is the electromagnetic spectrum...and where is pink? It doesn't exist! But I like pink, but that is basically because there isn't really any colour that I don't like XD (dw I know that it is in fact a colour, just not a transmissive colour, but that doesn't detract from it being interesting none the less)
  4. Listening to an auto 'New Music Mix' on iTunes (apparently tailored based on what else I listen to)...and it's picked Winter Wrap Up, but the French Version XD

  5. I don't think movies are necessarily better, or worse, than those of yesteryear. I can think of fantastic films that are decades old, and I can also think of films from the same eras that aren't very good at all. The absolute same can be said of todays movies too. I think the biggest difference nowadays, is the hype - I get the impression that films are getting more and more hyped before a release (due to the fact that the internet makes spread of trailers, interviews etc etc much easier). Looking at some trailers from the 70s for instance, I get the feeling that they were more there to inform us that a film is being made, whereas now they seem to be there to try and hype it as much as possible (as well as let us know that the film is in production XD). An example of this (imo) is Star Wars the Force Awakens. That film had absolute massive hype, and no small part of that is it being a new Star Wars film. I know many people who went to see it and were like: 'It's on par with Empire Strikes Back'. Now, I enjoyed it and think that it is a good film, but after taking a step back after seeing it and looking at it more objectively, it doesn't strike me as being anything special (Star Wars Episode 7: A New Hope XD). The original trilogy will always go down (in my book) as timeless classics, Ep 7...not so much, and I suspect people were influenced by that hype to the point where it skewered their perspective of it (or I might just be being grumpy lol). But, one film that I found absolutely fantastic was Interstellar, and (over here at least), it didn't seem to get much hype at all (besides it being a Nolan film) - I didn't even know what it was about (besides that it has some space in it) when I first went to see it.
  6. I'd go with Life is Strange (granted I've only played though it once, I suspect that there are at least two (maybe even more) different endings, but I went with the 'good' one I guess. Ah man, that ending was sad too - but I didn't feel too much sorrow, as I'd just mounted my TV on the wall just before playing the final level, and thought the cracks in the visor was actually cracks on my screen made by me messing up the mount XD. But the tone of that game was done very well throughout!
  7. The track sounds good, as does your voice - I'm glad you managed to get there in the end. You're right in that editing and mixing skills don't appear overnight, and tbh - you never stop developing them, but the more you do it the better you get (and the easier it gets ), and for a first attempt it actually sounds pretty good.
  8. No worries, and finding what works for you can be fun - basically you get to mess around with recording equipment So, yeah - enjoy
  9. Yeah, you'd have to get the bridge to sound as natural as possible, if you do decide to go down that route - a metronome (or simple programmed drum beat) makes it easier. That's another reason why several takes are needed, sometimes the 'most perfect' take doesn't necessarily flow as well as some of the slightly less perfect ones. But at the end if the day, you have to do what is most comfortable for you - with this sort of thing (like music recording), there is not always a 'correct' way to do it, what works for some doesn't always work for others and vice versa.
  10. It depends on what you are comfortable with, some people like it in one take, others don't. While I can't speak for singer songwriters, I have played in several recording bands (from death metal to indie), and often playing each section separately then mixing them together worked best. By all means try to get it in one take, but if you are struggling there is no harm in giving the segmented approach a shot. Several DAW's (digital audio workstations, which handle recording) nowadays let you loop a section and record each take, letting you choose the best one for that section before moving onto the next.
  11. Wow, I have an email from FedEx about my parcel...which I haven't ordered...from a non-FedEx email address...with a link to click on. This totally isn't a scam :D

      Don't wait man! That free parcel won't wait forever! What if the Nigerian Prince comes after it! For a dire situation like this, I have to yell!

  12. The Batmobile from Arkham Knight, it's got speed, maneuverability, tough and, although I have no need for the weapons, the tank mode would make parallel parking an absolute dream! Also, jet flames! I want my car to have jet flame boosters! And, well, look at it! Will never have to give way again XD
  13. I'm going to say yes - when Twi 'banished' the Ursa Minor, there was a lot of extra fanfare going on with her horn (which I guess could just have just been for our benefit to show how much energy she was using), but I feel that we could have been given that impression without as much going on, so I imagine that the ponies could see it too.
  14. Hi there and welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay with us all As for friends, we are a friendly bunch, so feel free to drop any of us on here a PM! Also, excellent choice in favourite mane 6 pony
  15. Luna does not look impressed XD Great work on the art though
  16. Currently have a uni friend visiting - so tonight has been co-op Battlefront and Scotch, has been a good evening :D

      Heh, cool, have a nice night!

  17. Apparently they are changing it a bit, so that there might not even be gyms but have something else in their place (trials or something like that)
  18. I shared my first because a YouTuber wanted to use it in a video, so I uploaded it so he could link back to it - that's about it really XD. My advice is, look at your current situation and try to work out if/when it will change. By that I mean, you say you don't have a proper mic - is there a chance you will be able to buy one soon (not even an expensive one, something like a Blue Snowball would do for now) - in which case you will be able to get a potentially better quality recording and use that instead. If it doesn't look like things will change any time soon, you might as well upload it now, and maybe think about re-uploading in the future once you get a chance to use a better mic, or guitarist. Hope this helps
  19. I'm actually having a beer as I type this, so that's a yes from me XD Though, I'm more of a social drinker, I rarely drink at home - the only reason I am atm is had some friends over recently and had a few left over afterwards, and on a hot muggy evening like this, a beer (well, lager in this case) is pretty refreshing.
  20. I've never actually played the original Modern Warfare, but would be interested to try it out - and a remaster would be a perfect opportunity for me, but I don't want to have to buy the most expensive version of a game that doesn't necessarily interest me that much. But, with a vague knowledge of what Activision is capable of, I wouldn't be surprised that once the $80 game sales start to drop, they release the remastered standalone...
  21. Just went for a run, average of 8:33/mile which is a new personal best for a 3k :D

      Wow, nice. Good job! I run occasionally but I don't got much of a place to do it where I live.

      Thanks - though all you need are a few roads, today I was mainly on the sidewalks

  23. That's fair enough, in that case I will reserve judgement until I see it myself
